Bassett Family 1871 census

[Gertie]

My ancestor Henrietta Bassett b.1842 Ightham, Kent and her husband James Bassett  immigrated to New Zealand on the ship "Berar" leaving London in 1874. They traveled with Elizabeth Bassett their 10 year old daughter.

Henrietta (nee) Bennett was working as servant in the Roby household at the time of the 1861 census and married James Bassett in 1869 Malling District.

I would like to know if the child Elizabeth was recorded as Elizabeth Bennett or Elizabeth Bassett at the time of the 1871 census and was she with Henrietta and James Bassett?  I calculate, Elizabeth was born about 1864, somewhere in Kent.
